thank you, Alicia, once again. Have you read the book before? If so, is it very good? I am thrilled about Africa! Did you know King Leopold is the one who caused indirectly to the civil war in Rowanda? He was evil!
Yes, I've read the book.... it's well-written with an excellent conversational tone, rather than being the typical dry-toned history book. King Leopold was indeed nuts.
